The completion of the sale of TGOD shares represents an approximate 50% internal rate of return for the Company. As a result of this transaction, Aurora no longer holds any shares of TGOD, however does continue to hold warrants to purchase 16,666,667 shares of TGOD.

“Aurora has a broad portfolio of strategic investments that allow us to participate in opportunities throughout the cannabis sector, while providing the company with non-dilutive access to capital,” said Terry Booth, CEO of Aurora. “We evaluate our investment portfolio on a regular basis to make sure it continues to align with our investment strategy and corporate priorities. When we acquired Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation – an iconic and premium organic cannabis producer – our interest in TGOD became less important to our core strategy. Our return on our TGOD investment is significant and will add non-dilutive capital and further enhance our strategy to remain a dominant force in the global cannabis industry.”
